According to the PRIMA Guide, there are certain "Collectible Drops" that can yield rare materials, only if you use an Expert Salvage Kit. I'm not sure how true this is, but I extracted the info for a quick guide. Maybe someone can say if they have successfully extracted Ecto from these items.
Here is a list of what materials you will get if you use an Expert Kit (very rare chance)
Globs of Ectoplasm (or Glittering Dust)
Ancient Eyes (Wilds Beholder)
Demonic Remains (Rift Nightmare)
Ghostly Remains (Ruins of Ascalon Ghost)
Phantom Residues (Rift Ghost)
Shadowy Remnants (Krytan Nightmare)
Stormy Eyes (Ruins of Ascalon Beholder)
Leather Squares (or Tanned Hides)
Half-Digested Masses (any)
Half-Eated Blobs (any)
Leather Belts (Krytan Human)
Worn Belts (Human-standard)
Steel (Note: If the expert does not work you will get what is next to it)
Swords (Iron)
Axes - (Wood Planks or Iron) Less Cleavers, Hatchets will give Granite Slabs only
Hammers - (Wood Planks or Iron) Ettin Hammer will give Granite Slabs only
Rods - (Iron)
Staffs - (ONLY the Wrathful Staff will give Steel. The rest will yield Iron)
Shields - (Iron) Less Crude, Militia, Wooden will give Wood Planks only
Charcoal (or Granite Slabs)
Glowing Hearts (Krytan Imp)
Sections of Ivory(or Bones)
Minotaur Horns (Crystal Desert Minotaur)
Ectoplasm - using Expert Salvage Kit

oh i heard a thing my freind told me, he salvaged one of those Salvage iteams u gett from the last mission, i cant rember the name, but i think its the ONLY salvage iteam u can gett there. Anyway,. he gottt Steel from that one,. i dunno how mnay times he succeded but i know its posssible too gett Steel out of these
Onito
U can also gett Bolts of Linen from Alpine Seed, this happpen not often at all, most rare what i have heard....
Mr. Niceguy
I've expertly salvaged more Phantom Residues and Demonic Remains than you could ever dream of owning, and never once have I gotten a Glob of Ectoplasm. I'm almost postitive that it's impossible to salvage it, but I haven't tried all the other stuff.
Onito
WE know it IS possible,. but the odds of that are EXTRMLY small...
octaviancmb
Until someone posts a screen capture of their expert salvage, I think this is solidly a Prima guide myth. The guide has many inaccuracies in it; no big surprise that this is wrong.

Puddin Tame
Probably long since nerfed.

i tried on 250 remains and got no ecto..= =
Xue Yi Liang
Maybe, for some odd reason, you need to extract ecto with a standard salvage kit instead of an expert one. It's just the sort of thing a wiseguy game developer would do.
Axle_Fieshe
I get a lot of Linen/Silk from Ghouls Collar's.
Manfy
After reading this, I salvaged around 750 Demonic Remains, nothing else but glittering dust.
DeLuux
Salvaged Bolt of Linen out of Necrid Robes and 2 Parchment out of a Scroll..
FluidFox
I wish you could craft ecto. Even if it required like 5 components in large quantities.
I'm going to have to say prima guide myth on this one too. I just went through 550 Demonic remains and now have 2750 glittering dust and only the 9 ecto I started with.
However, I now have that whole glittering dust thing in hand for the next year or so.

Onito
Oh, well maybe it is a myth then, somebody wrote that he/her gotta ecto by salvaging it :S
Anyway, i think u can really gett many sort of stuff from one salvage iteam, not that u willl gett a shard from a Ebony Spider Leg.. But other stuff like linen, fur and more
Thats what i belive....

storm bow / eternal sheild salvaging?
Onito
Hmm, no idea, i wouldnt salvage em if i were you XD
Valerius
yeah i don't think it's possible to get ecto... have used an expert salvage on like 500+ Demonic Remains and about 200 Phantom Residue's... nothing but Dust
legendel
Heres a link i use for most of my salvaging, sorry that it's from another site

Hope this helps people, and yes chances are small of getting a more rare item, but it does occasionally happen

Black Sunshine
Yeah I highly doubt you can salvage ecto or there'd be talk on the streets
minky

I salvage everything with expert.
I've got hundreds of steel from salvaging swords, axes, sheilds and hammers
I've got many leather squares (don't remember what I salvaged them from) but be careful, you can salvage a leather square for the other leather one
I've got 3 charcoals, 1 from drop I think and the other 2 salvage
I've never even seen an ecto

Net War
i got an ecto from a ghostlyremains when i first started post searing. there is a bonus where you have to kill an army of eternal like soldiers by the cemetary. it was out one of the main quests outside of ascalon. i think it was Ruins of Surmia. anyway, i sold it to the trader because i thought it was nothing special. now i got my FoW armor so it doesnt really matter to me.

That quest is Nolani Academy. I've also concidered trying to farm those things, but I just don't have the cash. I guess I'm just not farming in the right spots.
Net War
ya i tried nolai again. I killed 3 and salvaged -> got 1 ecto. lucky me!
Xue Yi Liang
OMG - I salvaged azure remains and got an Ecto!
nah - I'm joking
nah - I'm joking
Incubus Nin
Net War is right I also did the same thing and got a ecto when I first started playing. Like him I also sold it but to the rare material merchant. I think back then I got like 1 or 2 platinum. How often you can get ecto from the salvaging is another matter but if you don't want to shell out the money its the only way to go.
Xomah of Denyle
No screenshot, no believing.
Onito
Hmm, how do u catch when Exp Salvaging a iteam? lol, thats kinda hard...
Kobun King
Record it with FRAPS.
Net War
Didnt think of taking a screeny. sorry, will next time i try...
Valerius
it also shows a msg in the chat log saying something like :
Salvaged ## amount of XXXX out of XXXX
until i see a screeny... i won't believe...
Salvaged ## amount of XXXX out of XXXX
until i see a screeny... i won't believe...
Lord Xenos
... i got a ton of demonic remains from UW like aats or whatever will they work or is it only the rift nightmares?
Net War
i dont know. i only try ghostly remains...
spiritofcat
I just tried soloing that nolani bonus. Got 10 Ghostly Remains and they each salvaged to 1 dust. No ecto.

1. Read the thread-topic again
2. Read the threads you quoted again.
3. And then again, OFC it's Expert Salvage kit!

Maybe you should better read all the posts in this thread...?!
Someone posted earlier that it could be that ecto can only be salvaged with the normal kit. And noone ever posted that he did get an ecto using the expert! And I've heard that before, so it's a reasonable question.
But I should have asked - did you ALWAYS use the expert...?
Manfe posted shortly after Xue Yi Liang and didnt write "expert(ly)". Possible that he did try to salvage with the normal one.
BTW what means "FFS" and "OFC"?
